Action Group on Digital and AI

Following up on the Open Space session during the 2023 CAE Member’s Forum in Elefsina, Greece, Culture Action Europe (CAE) and Michael Culture Association (MCA) are forming an Action Group on Digital and AI. Members of both networks are invited to join the Action Group that will hold two online meeting in the months to come.

Considering the ongoing conversations inside and outside of the network around data protection, AI, digital ethics and the digital transition, this action group aims to identify sector-specific needs and advocate for strong digital policies, safeguarding the working conditions of artists amid increasing digitisation and AI processes. We believe that the cultural ecosystem is a crucial component of a shared digital future and propose actions that position the sector in an empowered role to contribute to a more human-centred approach to digital policies. Digital transformation is one of the strategic focuses of CAE in the period of 2024-2028.

Please join us for the first planned meetings facilitated by CAE and MCA. The Action Group on Digital and AI will have the objective of advocating for the two communities put together. We will achieve this through the use of needs-analysis surveys, policy recommendations, and joint statements to advocate effectively. We believe in bottom-up approaches to assess cultural sector needs and guide shared advocacy efforts.
